Morning Mel,morning everyone,

9.29pm

We had a little more snow over night and a while ago we had a heavy shower .
I wrapped a few presents yesterday ,and i thought i might write my cards today as i don't think i'll be going out far.
Just seen on the news that parts of Scotland have had up to 10 inches of snow !!!!!
Better get some jobs done.
BBL

Morning Jane ,
You popped in while i was typing lol

10.04am

Good morning snowflakes !!!!

Had a little flurry this morning, just about settled. Don't think it will last. Even though the sky looks full of it. 10 inches in places. What's happened to our weather.????
Have a problem with some mail I sent to my sister direct from sellers on Ebay. It hasn't arrived at her new address. They didn't (THE HOME) redirect the mail and hasn't been returned to the sellers. I have been in touch with the home, their attitude seems to be "SO WHAT" I spoke with the police yesterday, they advised me to leave it a few days, then contact the local police where my sister was, and report it as THIEFT" they will then interview the waldens, and if proven that someone "had them away" a charge could be bought. It's not so much trhe value that annoys me, but the trust you put into these people, who look after frail and sick people. I have beed in contaCT WITH BOTH SELLERS AND THEY HAVE OFFERED TO SEND MORE DVDs, till I sort this out. How very nice of them !!!!!

Stay warm, see you later

10.18am.

Have sent some of you the pics I took of the snow.

OH has turned the heating of as he is papering the study and it's getting quite cold in here!!

Sun was out a while ago when I posted but now it is coming over a bit dark.

I have to do the advent ring today but can't get myself motivated. I did pick some stuff for it the day before yesterday as the birds were eating the berries on our holly bush. This morning it looks like they have stripped it bare!!

10.21am.

Oh Frank thats awful. I suppose whoever took them thought they would be a good thing to have for a present for someone with Christmas looming!

Morning all
YES we did have snow last night but not as much as you lot have in England.
Lovely sunny day here now.
OH got home from Sunderland at 10.00am this morning . left at 7.am and the road from Sunderland to Carlise was not good but once he was on the motorway no problems at all nice & clear,
thanks for your pics Mel looks lovely.

Have sent 2 snowy pics e-mail

11.51am.

Gosh Fiona your hubby should have a hat on in this weather!!!!

Thanks for the pics.

Mel
Even though OH has hardley any hair, he prefers to go without a hat, only wears one if it is snowing really bad and he is out for a walk and of course when he is out cycling he has his helmet. You can't tell men what to do!!!!
Mel it's a battle to get him to wash my windows, he has better things to do but I have been nagging him for a while to get them done, and I am not
alowed a window cleaner because they damage OH plants with the ladder.

Thanks for snow pics Mel and Fiona.You have had more than me.It hasn't been worth me taking any photos.
Bedroom is looking good Mel!

Off to use a voucher I had back in July for my birthday.I'm having a nice relaxing eye treatment at the salon.Must dash BBL

Can't find the stand I put the ring on!! May have to use one thats in the church if I can get down there!!

Afternoon All,

We have SNOW!! Just a couple of inches. Love your pics Mel, you really do have lovely views from your windows.

I have sent a couple from the front drive and one of my 'birds'. lol

Bad news is footie is off, so I have a disappointed OH mooching around under my feet and meddling in my plans for the day. lol

Off to do a few jobs, then maybe go out with my camera.

Poor old Ann, I'm home alone as per usual for Saturday AM. I quite like it Have Radio on in the background Arsenal v Villa. had a nice coffee, now waiting for Madam to return. with the shopping. She is lokking at cloths again today MORE EXPENCE !!!!

Have replied to the Sheltered housing dept. on the lines that if they don't sort it out, the police will be involved. see if that kicks some ars##. Will wait and see. If not the Sh## will hit the FAN. !!!!

Weather all cleared away now, bitter cold. but i'm O.K. Jack. heating on, and nice and comfy. Won't be moving today again. Will turn yellow if I'm not careful. with no fresh air.!!! Then you can call me the" YELLOW PERIL"

Spoke to my niece this morning in the Boarders. They have 6/8 inches of snow and the villiage is completely snowed in. WATCH OUT FOR TOMORROW JANE> !!!

I hope you can sort your trouble Frank.I despair of some people.No conscience .

Sunny here now and the snow nearly gone(for now).Where do your rellies live in the Borders Frank.Anywhere near Moffat? I have people there.
Hannah has just arrived home.She now has the cheque for her season ticket so will be commuting from Monday.So we are no longer Darby and Jones lol

Ann can't you find a little job for OH to do out in the garage or shed to keep him out from under your feet lolol.

I was out at 8.30am moving the snow this morning then a 12.30 shop stint ,everyone very cheerful coming in and out .I had one small lad who chose 12 penny sweeties then would not open his mit to give me the money so he went out not paying the little perish\\\\er . tears and all. Just
let him try it again. It is the second time but next time I shall pounce on him before he gets to the sweet counter. The little lads got such a cute little face but a cheeky little monkey.I tried to open his hand but he said your hurting me .I was thinking just give me the chance. It took 15 minutes to get rid of him with free sweets.
.
My wellies are lovely bright blue with spots ankle length wide at the top and cost me £2 fron the charity shop I work for they came with a thermal linining but it was in the wash the day I got lost. 1 degrees that day and in the paper today mothers were complaining the council closed the road and sending them down the lane I went down and forgot to mention about an avenue or put a diversion notice up so all the poor mums collecting children from school ended up like me froze and fed up. I think most of them would have gone back had roadmen had not sent people down the lane and mentioned the avenue. I only found my way back because I saw a friend visiting someone and asked the way back. He offered me a lift but I had two muddy dogs so declined the offer.

Now going to watch Nadel and Murrey play tennis on the sports channel.

Just had two books delivered from Amazon never have a problem with them.

Thanks for the snowy photo's Mel and Ann , Fiona i haven't got yours .

Lets hope you can get to the bottom of the missing DVD's Frank ,was good of the sellers to offer some more though.

No more snow ,its been nice and sunny here so we have had a bit of a thaw ,the road out the front is all slushy which will be bad when it starts to freeze !!

Just watching The Bare Foot Contessa on the food network ,she does some nice recipes ,trying to get some ideas for a nice dessert for christmas day ,there will only be four of us ,me ,hubby,sister and BIL , the two men like their christmas pud ,but sister and i are not so keen ,i find it lays a bit to heavy for me ,so i want to make some thing else .
There was a nice dessert in the Morri*ons mag for a Triple Choc Torte , i might make that as it can be made ahead and frozen.

Annx & Mandy
Have sent snow pics, sorry.
Sun gone in now and it's feeling colder.

Thanks for the pics Fiona. Your garden looks very pretty in the snow and with the sun on the trees.......now you can see it even better with cleaner windows! I don't think I could have got my OH to do them with snow on the ground.

Jane/Frank, the saga continued! OH hoofed me off the computer so he could see if any other matches were being played.......yes, one at Loughborough. so he decided to go to that. He got ready, next thing he had to take his big heavy treaded shoes off to go and get his ring, which he hates going out without. Then it was back again for his car keys! I thought he was safely on his way and had got changed into my old comfies, having decided to stay in.......phone rings, he's at the services on the MI can I bring his WALLET!!!!! lol, lol Otherwise he would have to drive to the next junction to get off and come all the way back. So, I had to get changed AGAIN, scrape all the ice off my car and drive up there. I told him he will need to write an ACTION PLAN for everything he does soon!! lol You have to laugh don't you!!!

Brrrrrr!.Just got back from the station with Hannah to hand over that cheque for nearly £6,000 for the season ticket !!!,then into town for her to get some warm gloves.furry head thing and a warm jumper to help keep the chill out from standing on the freezing station every morning.Then dropped her off at the gym.
My eye massage or whatever it is called was heaven.It was the face shoulders and across the top of the chest too.I smell wonderful with all the potions and lotions used.
It is the switch on tonight for the Lights in town.That awful David Van Day will be doing it I think.I wonder how many people will venture out in this cold.

Sheila your boots sound 'GROOVY'.There are some brilliant wellies about.
Ann your OH deserves a slap.Messing you around like that lol.All you plans up the swany (sp).
Did I say thanks for your pics? I can't think if I did or not.Anyway thanks lol
I like those glass birds.Very clever with the fish in the bill.
